This Packaged Facts report examines the dynamics of the current landscape for consumer trends in the high protein/low carb and keto and paleo markets.
The keto (or ketogenic) diet mandates very low carbohydrate intake, high fat, and adequate protein content. The strictness of this diet is intended to bring the body into ketosis for faster weight loss. It forces the body to burn fat by making carbohydrates scarce. This diet tends to be the lowest in carbohydrate content compared to other low-carb diets.
The paleo (or Paleolithic) diet, also called the "caveman diet" or the "stone age diet", consists of foods that may have (or could have) been eaten by our Paleolithic counterparts. There are different variants of the diet, with some being fully plant-based and some featuring animal products. The diet encourages adherents to avoid processed foods and opt instead for whole options like vegetables, fruits, nuts, roots, eggs, meat, and seafood. Besides the broad category of "processed", forbidden foods include dairy products, grains, added/refined sugars, legumes, salt, alcohol, and coffee.
Although the paleo diet is not specifically low-carb, in practice the allowed foods tend to provide fewer carbohydrates and more protein and fat content than standard American diets.
Low-carb diets including keto, paleo, Atkins, South Beach, Whole30, and general low-carb diets are analyzed. This report considers both packaged foods and beverages with paleo and keto claims, as well as whole foods that fit with these eating styles. Consumer demographics, perceptions, motivations, and attitudes on food, diet, and health are considered.
Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumers are also analyzed in a broad sense, as well as in the context of following a keto or paleo diet.
The reasons for and implications of shifts in consumer perception and behavior are analyzed in the context of present and future market opportunities.
The report has dozens of tables showcasing numerical survey data on consumer demographics and psychographics and numerous marketing photographs. This report goes in-depth on COVID-19 and inflation trends that have affected the food and beverage market.
Primary research includes national online consumer polls of U.S. adult consumers (age 18+) conducted on an ongoing basis by Packaged Facts to analyze attitudes of consumers and their relevant food and beverage preferences.
Survey data from MRI-Simmons are used to analyze the demographics and psychographics of consumers following special diets including keto, paleo, Atkins, South Beach, and Whole30.
Supplementing Packaged Facts' exclusive surveys are analysis of the 2022 and 2023 Food & Health Surveys conducted by the International Food Information Council, which analyze consumer food purchase decisions, diet and lifestyle choices, snacking activity, and perception of health benefits in foods.
